Rationale

Government of Canada 10-year yield falls 70bp as BoC cuts, inflation normalizes, and global flight to quality continues. Chain: goc_10y_rate -> goc_ust_10y_spread (immediate) + corporate_credit_spread_ig (immediate) + mortgage_rate_5yr (+0.75, d1) + effective_interest_rate (+0.60, d2) + business_investment (+2.0, d2). Lower rates reduce borrowing costs across the entire economy.

Details

Epoch: 33

Domain: financial_markets

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $34.67B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$34.10B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$27.72B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via effective_interest_rate
  • +$3.72B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via business_investment
  • +$1.68B → education_spending (Education Spending) via business_investment
  • +$0.97B → industry_spending (Department of Industry Spending) via business_investment

Causal effects: 5 downstream variables affected (2 immediate)

Divergence after: 220.229

Variable changes

  • goc_10y_rate: 3.5 → 2.8

Proposed policy move

goc_10y_rate: 3.5 → 2.8 (▼ -0.7)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
